I think this was some marketing gimmick.
Watch them come out with an oh-so convenient, pc alternative.
So demonic

I got them CERTS
dem shyts is UGLAY...they need to handcuff those shoes to a garbage truck. 
They are terrible
But owning a pair and holding on to them for the long run would probably get you some cash.

I can't believe nikkas upset about this tho. I could see if it was blatant like Aunt Jemima syrup but shackles been in effect before Africans were even slaves.
1.) The shoes are ugly....
2.) I'm getting tired of us complaining about something every time it "might" remind us of slavery. Who cares if adidas makes these ugly shoes. They aren't distributing them exclusively at HBCU's. I don't think the designers are racist. So what's the big deal? If you feels some type of way then don't wear them, or don't allow your child to wear them and KIM.
In my opinion we shouldn't have a problem with something unless it seems obviously racist/prejudice. Otherwise we need to stop being so sensitive and presumptive. Also, In my opinion, it shows how weak people are that they let every little thing affect them so much to the point they have to protest it.
Who are they hurting by releasing those shoes?
the mentality of our young black youth?
How bout you teach your children how to respect themselves and others and all this crap won't matter.

I dont call my brehs c00ns but u just said some of dumbest shyt ive ever heard. R u serious? So you think these shoes will not be at the mall at "urban" stores and be bought by all who support urb- naw, black culture? Come on man its disrespect and a spit in the face to us. We helped boost their sales and make them a cool staple among hiphop fashion with DMC and now they offer shoes with orange shackles resemblant of the county jumpsuit. Im boycotting.
